There should be no guttering, sump pumps, or any form of ground water
going into the City's wastewater system for any reason.

1.
The owner will be given reasonable notice to fix the problem; if
they do not, Appleton City coupled with recommendations from the Missouri
Department of Natural Resources may levy a fine for those in violation.
